Fizzy grows LSD auto - first time grower

1/9/22 Day 62 - Despite Lucy being only two months old, I believe she is in the last week or two at most, unless she slows her ripening way down. I tested a bit of her bud yesterday, and she is going to be powerful once she's properly finished. I'll be carefully checking trichomes daily at this point because who knows when she will decide she's finished. Having all these detailed notes is going to help inform my next grow, where I will be planting three more LSD autos, and trying to correct any mistakes I've made this time. Lucy does look like she's going to have a great yield for her size. I have plans to help avoid what I think was a bit of transplant shock that may have played into Lucy's short stature. (Of course, it could have been strictly genetics, no way to every be sure.) This has been a very engaging learning experience. I hope to keep building in my knowledge, and eventually have more weed than I know what to do with! 1/10/22 Day 63 - The last day of Lucy's 9th week. She had a big surprise for me this morning - purple leaves! So pretty. She is getting down to 63 - 64 overnight (window is closed, heating vent is shut, it's really cold here this week!). She had been showing purple edges to leaves last couple of weeks, but changing over to her usual bright green. She did this overnight, which is her usual MO. She also used water last night - 1.2 lbs of it! She had been slowing way down to a few ounces a day. Who knows? I'm giving up trying to predict. Her scent is now so strong, it's nearly overpowering and easily defeats her massive air filter. Yum! At least we can't smell her downstairs. I know it can't be too much longer. 1/11/22 Day 64 - Welcome to the real week 10! Every day matters in the life of an auto, after all. Not much new today, just doing her thing and growing her buds, good girl! Also loving the purple leaves, and how she's taking on a pinkish cast. Last night's tric examination yielded - who knows? Trying to figure out "when" is quite the task for me. She is going to want a drink today, she's at 8 lbs this morning. All water from here on out. Can't hardly wait! 1/12/22 Day 65 Microscope pictures today - I wish I could more easily see these, and be able to interpret. I feel that we're very close - but just not sure if "today is the day!". If anyone sees these, I'd appreciate opinions - thanks in advance! 1/13/22 Day 66 Her colors continue to change - she has a lot of "pinkish" to her now, along with the purple leaves. I clipped another budlet for a test of readiness - I'll be checking this weekend. Looks as if we're going into week 11. 1/14/22 Day 67 - Had some other growers really look at her trichomes pictures for me, and the opinion is she is rapidly approaching peak THC. Yay! Advice was given to give her 48 hours of darkness after her next drink, which will likely be tomorrow, she still has water. (8.4 this AM) So looks as if the harvest is indeed going to happen next week, I'm really excited and sad in a way, she's become quite a "pet" to me over these last two. Oh well, I'll have her sisters to fuss over soon. I'm super curious how much dried bud I'm going to get off her tiny little 20 inch frame. 1/15/22 Day 68 - Cleaned up tons of leaves today, preparing her for her time in the darkness. In my usual style, I'm still waffling on what day to put her in darkness, was going to start today but perhaps I'll give it another couple of days. She is just inside the harvest window, seeing as how she's rated to finish b/t 10 - 14 weeks. She's always been in a rush but perhaps we'll slow down a bit for these last couple of days.
